<h1 class="topictitle1">Step 5: Performing Backup</h1>
<div><p>Before performing backup, you need to associate the resources to be protected with a specified SLA. The system protects the resources and periodically executes backup jobs based on the SLA. You can perform a backup job immediately through manual backup.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Context</h4><ul><li>During manual backup, the parameters (except <span class="uicontrol"><b><span><strong>Automatic Retry</strong></span></b></span>) defined in the SLA, such as <span class="uicontrol"><b><span><strong>Rate Limiting Policies</strong></span></b></span>, are applied to the manual backup job.</li><li>Copies generated by manual backup are retained for the duration defined in the SLA.</li><li>If a replication or archive policy has been defined in the SLA, the <span>OceanProtect</span> will perform replication or archiving once based on the SLA when you perform manual backup.</li></ul>
